Tech Team Makes Finals in Collegiate Inventors Competition

Alexander Bills, Dev Mandavia, Lucas Muller, and Cassidy Wang make up the Neuraline team that will participate as undergraduate finalists in the event on Friday, Nov. 16.

The group’s technology can improve the accuracy of epidural delivery by helping physicians identify a promising injection site using electrical properties and composition of the body. According to Neuraline — now known as Ethos Medical — about 3 million women annually in the U.S. receive anesthesia in the spine, known as an epidural, during labor; about one in eight cases result in complications because of incorrect injection placement.
